Uusally it's the London Bridge station area that an annual "where's good to eat" thread all of it's own. Must be the anonymity, windblown and transient nature of anywhere with 3M people passing through daily.


But I'd like any similar suggestions of where's decent (informal is fine) to eat near Waterloo...avoiding south bank and Wahacha I'm pretty much open to anything else.....any ideas?

I was also going to mention Masters Super Fish!


I know Anchor and Hope is supposed to be great, but there has always been queues when I've tried to go, which is a bit of a turn-off for me. Maybe it's calmed down a bit?


I found the food at the Young Vic bar very acceptable..

I must be a basic bloke because when I know I'm out in Waterloo and will need to eat, Marie's Cafe on the Cut figures first every time. It's a greasy cafe by day and the last few years exclusively Thai food by evening (Thought they do a set 2-3 Thais dishes during the day, too).

May not be glam enough tho - certainly informal.

BYO.

Blimey, had forgotten all about that place, haven't been there for years.


If memory serves, for some reason they showed me some large cooking thing and explained how they made their rice in it. Can that be right?!

Someone said Kings Arms for Thai....but the problem with that is that on weekdays its rammed and not the sort of place you'd want to eat unless you like bum in your face. Weekends its nice and quiet. A total opposite to the trading pattern at pubs in the burbs.


Will skip the tapas because back in SE22/15 we now have about 5 tapas places up and running (its the new pizza) I spent Friday in that new one off Rye Lane... its only a spit from the Refreshment rooms... so my padron pepper quota for 2015 is now complete.

I didn't know Marie's cafe was open in the evenings. I remember about twenty years ago working nearby and going there for lunch pretty much every day for a month. They always did one curry, one stir fry dish and one noodle dish every lunch time, and once a week I'd mix it up and have bacon egg and chips instead. Happy days.


PS I think it's on Lower Marsh, not the Cut.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
